Parents of Chuck Zhang’s classmates
Although school has not been open for a long time now, I have found that my children have made great progress in their behavior as a person. The teachers at Nome not only imparted knowledge to them in terms of teaching, but also taught them how to behave. In fact, children are a mirror of their parents. As children grow, we parents should also continue to learn and grow together with our children. Today is the first time we have a parent committee meeting this semester. The school has also made careful arrangements and introduced us in detail to all aspects of the school. First of all, Principal Liu introduced us to the teaching arrangements, introduced teachers, the ratio of Chinese and foreign teachers, and the background information of each outstanding teacher. Nome is an excellent school and I am very proud that my children can attend school here. How to judge whether a school is excellent? I think the school that is suitable for children is the best school. Nome has been working hard to make the school better, and this year the school has also set higher goals. In addition, in August, our Nome School was approved as a private high school, which made us parents feel particularly at ease and happy for the school.
Parents of Witty Zhu’s classmates
My daughter has been in Nome for a month. First of all, in terms of learning, what I feel most deeply as a parent is that her interest in learning itself is constantly increasing. Although the subjects are becoming more and more difficult, her interest does not decrease but increases. I feel that no matter what you do, interest is the driving force. As long as you have this interest and like the subject, you will definitely be able to learn it well. Secondly, in terms of daily life, the teachers are very good to her, and the canteen in Nome is very delicious and has a rich menu. She is very happy in life and study, which is a very good start.
Regarding the responsibilities of the Family Committee, first of all, ensure effective communication between both parties. Parents can reflect their children's needs, concerns and problems through the Parents Committee, and the school can also promptly communicate the school's educational concepts, policies and activities through the Parents Committee. Secondly, parent committees should be able to participate in the formulation and decision-making of school education plans. This will not only ensure that school decisions meet the needs of parents and students, but also give parents greater trust and recognition in the school. Third, members of the parent committee can use their own resources in society to coordinate and organize various educational activities, such as parent education lectures, student social practice activities, etc. This can not only enrich students’ learning life, but also promote parent-child relations. communication and cooperation. Fourth, parent committees can participate in school safety management, such as formulating safety policies, supervising campus safety, etc., to ensure the safety of students. This semester I hope that the parent committee can organize some things that are beneficial to home-school contact and children's growth. For example, some lectures or workshops for parents can be organized to improve parents' educational skills and help them better support and support their families. Coach children's learning; organize communication activities between parents and encourage parents to share their own educational resources; collect parents' opinions and suggestions on the school through regular meetings or questionnaires, and bring their voices into the school's decision-making process; organize parents Participating in public welfare services, such as library organization, campus cleaning, etc., can not only help the school, but also enhance the interaction between parents and children.
Parents of Daniel Wang’s classmates
When Daniel was in the system, he was a passive learner. After arriving at Nome, his teachers often encouraged him, and the school also gave him a large platform to express himself, which encouraged him to become a diversified child. . He now participates in many clubs, including a fencing club and his own symphony club. Because he has studied equestrian for many years and is used to this kind of solo sport, I am very happy to see that Nomi has provided him with a platform to participate in a team-based club. Regarding today’s Parent Committee, I feel that the members of the Parent Committee have more ideas and have many good suggestions to give to the school. I believe that with the joint efforts of family committee members and the school, the school can develop better and better promote the healthy physical and mental growth of students.
Shanghai Nomei School has always attached great importance to home-school communication. In addition to regular parent committee activities, phone calls/home visits from the class teacher, and interviews with parents at school, the class teacher will also share the children's learning and living conditions at school in the parent group. This not only allows parents to learn about their children's growth and changes in a timely manner, strengthens the connection between home and school, but also fills the parent group with laughter, and provides a channel and platform for building the class into a cohesive and warm family.
The Parent Committee is an important part of Shanghai Nome School. Strengthening home-school communication will help build a closer home-school relationship and help better promote the all-round growth of students. Nome School encourages parent committees to make suggestions for the school’s teaching management and cooperate with the school to integrate resources to provide Nome students with more opportunities for practical activities. These opportunities include competitions, performances, volunteers and other practical activities inside and outside the school. For example, the last parent committee brought many activities to the students, including: inviting members of the Psychology Teaching Steering Committee of the Ministry of Education and the Psychological Research Center of Fudan University Professor He Lingfeng has given lectures to Nome students, participated in the Syrian earthquake rescue assistance work, participated in popular science movies with tens of millions of views, participated in etiquette classes, parent-child lectures, etc. The size of the new Parent Committee this school year is larger than in previous years. The members are all experts or managers in their respective fields and have rich social resources. We look forward to the parent committee being able to provide children with the best services in the new school year. More meaningful activities and exercise opportunities.
Finally, I would like to thank all the family committee members for their full support of school education and teaching work. We firmly believe that home-school collaboration and joint efforts can create more opportunities to help students develop, and ultimately help children improve their overall literacy and realize the value of life.
